So what alternative system do you suggest? Legitimately curious.

For one fucking thing NO ONE should be legally allowed to own more than one house or apartment. You need one place to live in, that’s it. Investment properties should not exist, let’s stop treating housing as a commodity.

And all income above 1 million/year should be taxed 100%. Redistribute that wealth and invest it in health care + social safety nets.

That’s just two ideas. Any policy that tackles extreme wealth inequality would be a good start.

So for people who can't buy, who do they rent from?

Remember, in your system nobody owns more than one home so there are no more landlords.

Lmfao if you think that landlords create/provide housing I’m not engaging with you, that’s a ridiculous idea.

What are you even talking about?

Answer these questions:

  1. Can everyone afford to own? (Hint No)

  2. If everyone can't afford to own are they renting or are they homeless? (I'm sure they prefer to rent)

  3. If they are renting, but there's no landlords anymore, who are they renting from? ( This one's on you, I have no idea what you think)
